I've been growing for a while. Minor sucksess. The problem I believe is Not controling the rooms temp & Humidity. Grow room is approx. 10'x 12' x 8'
Using 1000 w Super HPS Fill and Drain. Summer time seems to be the toughest. The room temp could rise as 100. A fan running didn't keep it cool enough. Went to sears bought a small room conditioner, installed it in the wall between the garage and the room. Now keep in mind, that the garage temp was at times 112. Living in the deaert really sucks. My thinking was that if I could keep the room temp around 75 to 80 things would be ok. My humidity has been running in the low to mid 20's. I'm in 12/12 cycle now. I need help with keeping the room cool enough and raise the humidity. This is based on some of the information that I have read on the boards. I don't want the cheapest nor the highest priced. In time I will make a good investment in the room because I can see......I just want a quick solution to get my one and only bitch thru to harvest.

have you checked out portable air conditioners,also a humidifier would work to get your humidity up

I've aleady got an air conditioner. I can keep the room cool but it's too dry. Hence the low humidity. After having it on a short time, already I see a rise in humidity.

Your exhaust could be another factor in removing the humidity and dropping it so low.....What's the exhaust like...and intake as well ??

The humidifier will help along with a portable AC...which will create some humidity I beleive.
Ya have any pics of your area....sounds cool
